EMDR Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing

Process the past, reclaim your present

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and reduce the impact of distressing memories and traumatic experiences. At Dermiology, every course of therapy begins with a full consultation and assessment of your individual history and needs - never a one-size-fits-all approach. The result is a carefully structured, compassionate programme that supports healing at your own pace.

● Those experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, or emotional distress linked to past experiences

● Clients wanting a structured, evidence-based approach to processing difficult memories

Not sure if this is right for you?
If you're uncertain whether EMDR is the right approach for you, our clinical team will guide you through a full assessment during your consultation.

Before the treatment

● A full consultation will be carried out to understand your history and what you'd like support with

● Let your therapist know about any previous therapy, current medications, or relevant health history

● EMDR can bring up strong emotions, so it helps to have some quiet time available after your session

● Come with an open mind - your therapist will explain the process fully before any reprocessing work begins

Aftercare

● It's common to feel emotionally tired or reflective after a session as your mind continues to process

● Take some quiet time for yourself after your session where possible

● Be patient with yourself - meaningful change through EMDR tends to build gradually over several sessions

● Reach out to your therapist between sessions if anything raised feels difficult to manage alone

Frequently Asked Questions!

● What happens in an EMDR session?
Your therapist guides you through recalling difficult memories while using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to help your brain reprocess them in a less distressing way.

● Will I feel better after one session?
EMDR is a gradual process, and most clients notice change building over several sessions as memories become less distressing. Your therapist will talk you through realistic expectations at your first session.

● Is EMDR difficult to go through?
Sessions can bring up strong emotions as difficult memories are processed, but your therapist will guide you through this safely and at a pace that feels manageable for you.

● How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person depending on your history and what you're working through. Our clinical team will discuss a recommended course with you.

● Is everything I discuss confidential?
Yes, sessions are conducted with full confidentiality, in line with professional therapeutic standards. Your therapist will explain this in more detail at your first session.

● Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes - some clients in Loughborough combine EMDR with CBT depending on their needs. Your therapist can advise on the best approach for your goals.
